Hoy pedí prestada una libreta donde escribir

Para decir: 'pedir'

Pedí palabras que aún no estaban inventadas

Para tocar pedir

Las manos que saque de entre dos aguas

La voz del que en la isla nos callaba

Pedí el atrevimiento de una loca y por pedir, pedí, pedí

Que nadie como yo entienda tus maneras cuando hablen
That no one like me understands your ways when they talk
Ni sepa más que yo de tus detalles
Don't even know more about your details than I do
Que tu único consuelo sea mirarme
May your only consolation be to look at me
Y que sepas de una vez que antes que nadie
